fashion bride shoot

It is always good to share a new 'First' so today I want to share this 'first' for my jewellery - I was approached by the extremely talented photographer Helen Elizabeth asking if I have ever considered loaning my jewellery out for a fashion shoot, I have been tweeting with Helen for some time now and familiar with some of her photography and after looking at her website  I was very happy to post a couple of my items over to her.
Helen sent me photos of the dresses and models with a description of what she had planned and I chose the jewellery I thought would be best suited for each, which actually meant I had to knit a choker especially for it.
I am thrilled with these beautiful images - it isn't that often I get to see my jewellery being worn by my brides and I always find it interesting to see how they look with the dress!
Hopefully this will be the first of many fashion shoots

Just off to my workroom for a while

Last night the football was on, it may well have been a Sunday evening but when all that is on TV is a football match between two foreign teams who I have absolutely no interest in you can imagine my delight when a design idea suddenly popped into my head - what great timing! - I walked out of the living room stating I was just going up to my workroom for a while - when I returned the football was almost over and a new necklace plus a pair of matching earrings had been made!
The necklace is made with Swarovski crystal pearls and the earring are again made with the same Swarovski crystal pearls and sterling silver ear hooks - I have made the pair as a single pearl but I can add other pearls to make any length required!
